The event is a combination of lectures on the theory and methods of policy analysis and design, practical problems in modelling and forecasting and computer-based exercises. The following topics are likely to be covered: - techniques for modelling unobserved economic components, state-space...

The following topics are likely to be covered: - basic optimisation techniques; - model microfoundations; - models of the business cycle, including models with financial frictions; - simple solution methods; - input data preparation and manipulation; - construction and estimation of small...

This is an intensive week-long event, which comprises a series of lectures and practical sessions. The sessions will cover: - the objectives of monetary policy and optimal policy under commitment and discretion; - important estimation techniques; - financial market data and monetary policy; -...

This one-week seminar will introduce central bankers to economic modelling techniques for monetary policy purposes by reviewing various modelling approaches: theoretical models of the dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) type and estimated time-series models, including (semi) structural...

This three-day seminar introduces participants to some of the key related concepts and shows how they can be studied in a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium setup. To build an understanding of the implications of financial frictions for business cycle fluctuations and monetary policy,...

This forum provides an opportunity for senior human resource (HR) practitioners to work with others in the field on a number of issues which central banks face. The event will be structured to allow a mixture of external input, sharing of ideas and expertise, co-coaching and problem solving. It...

This seminar is aimed at central bankers actively involved in developing or evaluating systemic risk assessment models, or central bankers who use systemic risk models as an input into their tasks and wish to acquire a deeper understanding of how they work. Participants should be familiar with...

This event aims to help participants use dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models to analyse monetary policy choices. Participants will learn methods needed to solve, estimate and analyse general equilibrium models under different assumptions about monetary policy and take part in practical...
